I hope many more Teens will get Active in PoliticsWednesday, February 26, 2003

I liked Mr. Berg-Andersson's defense of Ms. Stormont very
much.

I hope many more people in their teens will get active in politics
and vote. Citizens who are able to vote have the ultimate
responsibility. You said this very well when you wrote "In the
end, Democracy is only as good as the People who live under it: thus,
it is often not the leaders who are the principal threat to the
democratic process so much as it is the attitude of the led."

I think our country would have fewer problems if more people voted
and wrote letters to members of Congress.

Our country would probably not have millions of citizens without
affordable health insurance if many millions more people voted and
wrote to members of Congress. Citizens only have power if they
exercise the power that they have.
